Grey, K.C.8., and Rear-Admiral Charles Eden, C. 8., Lords Com missioners, accompanied by Captain Hall, R.N., private secretary to the Duke of Somerset, arrived at Portsmouth dockyard yesterday by morning train from London on their expected visit to Portsmouth. Their lordships soon after arrival went on float and on board the Royal Sovereign, 5- gun turret ship, lying off at moorings in the harbour stream, and just commissioned by Capt. Sherard Osborn, C.B. At the conclusion of the inspection of this formidable ironclad, they embarked on the Fare Queen, paddlewheel yaeht,which conveyed them out to the Channel fleet anchored at Spit head. They paid a visit to Rear-Admiral S. C. De cres,C.B., on board his flagship, the Edgar, screw line of battle ship. On returning from the harbour to the fleet they disembarked at the dockyard, where, accompanied by Admirals Sir M. Seymour and G. Elliot, they visited the royal paddle yacht Alberta, No. 5, steam launch, twin screws, the steam basin, and other objects of interest in the yard, afterwards embark ing on board the Admiral Superintendent's barge, and pro ceeding on board their new paddle yacht Enchantress. On landing from the Enchantress their lordships, with Capt, Hall, were conveyed in the Admiral's carriage to the rail way station, whence they proceeded to London. The Immortalite, screw frigate, Capt. Hancock, was yes terday officially inspected at Portsmouth by Vice-Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.B. As soon as the inspection was over her crew commenced the process of stripping and dis mantling, preparatory to paying out of commission. Yesterday the Sydenham, 1,050 tons, Captain D. Tosh, belonging to Messrs Wilson and Cook, which has been chartered by the Hon Council of India for the conveyance of reinforcements to the East Indies, embarked the follow ing troops from Government-quay, Gravesend, for Calcutta —viz., Capt, P.

Major Con grove and the offi cers connected with the Quartermaster's Staff from Chatham garrison. The Sydenham is fitted with Dr. Normandy's marine distilling apparatus, which is capable of producing 400 gallons of fresh water daily. The arrangements con nected with the embaroation of the troops were carried out on the part of the Hon. Council of India by Capt. Cow, and the Sydenham will leave the Thames to-day. The chartered troopship Conflict will embark 400 cavalry and infantry troops at Gravesend to-day for India, and the Michael Scott a similar number on Saturday. life, two men whose boat was capsized daring a strong westerly wind in Yarmouth-roads, on the 27th May. The accident having been observed from the shore, the salvors immediately launched a small boat through the surf,which was very heavy at ;he time, end fortunately arrived at tile spot Just in time to sate the poor fellows, who were found. struggling in the sea. Vezious other rewal ds were also voted for saving life from different wrecks on. the coasts of the United Kingdom. Th e me e ting then sanctioned payments amounting to upwards of £1,900 on various lifeboat establishments of the in stitution. A communication was read from Lieut.- G zmeral Knollys, expressing the thanks of his Royal Highness the Prince of Waies for a photograph presented to him by the institution of the Albert Victor lifeboat, now stationed at Berwick-on-Tweed. The boat was the gift of the City of Manchester to the institution. His Royal Highness the Field, Marshal Commanding-in-Chief and Earl de Grey end Ripon had given instructions for cop ies of the directions of the institution for the Restoration of the apparently dead from Drowning to be cir. culated amongst the several stations of the army at home and abroad. The Hon. Rustomjee Jam. setjee Jejeebhoy, member of the Legislative Council of Bombay, had presented to the society 1500, through R. W. Crawford, Esq., M.P. Daring the past month the institution had sent new life boats to 'l'eignmouth, Padstow, Holyhead, and Dover. At several of these towns, and at Marl. borough, in Wiltshire; the people had turned out in large numbers to give a hearty welcome to the life boats. The cost of each of these boats was the gift to the society of benevolent persons. The institu tion had also about 20 lifeboats building for places on the coast. A contribution of £2O was forwarded by the officers of her Majesty's ship Styx, at Ber. muds, being the proceeds of some amateur enter. tainments given by them for the benefit of the lifeboat institution. Dr. Paget Blake, of Torquay, had reported to the institution that he had recently successfully treated, by the Marshall Hall method, as adopted by the National:Lifeboat Institution, a man apparently dead from drowning. The patient was under water ten minutes before he was picked up. He was then got hold of by a boat hook and it brought on board a small boat and taken to land. He was apparently quite dead, but after half an hour's exertion on shore, Dr. Blake fortunately restored him to life. Naval Engagement off' the Island of Rugen, BERLIN, July 5. The official Staataanzeiger publishes the following particulars of a slight encounter between the Prus sian and Danish naval forces off itugen At noon, on the 2d, five Prussian gunboats were engaged with a Danish frigate, believed to have been the Tordensk jold, and a paddlewheel steamer, to the north of the island of Hiddensee, west of Rogan. The Prussian 3d gunboat division fired 46 shots, the enemy about 150, many shells bursting in the immediate vicinity of the boats. Officers and crews behaved admirably, but were obliged to break off the fight after an hour's engagement, as three of the guns had become useless. The rifled battery of the 3d division of Pomeranian artillery occupied Dranske, a point upon the Wittow peninsula, opposite the north of Hiddensee, to support the gunboats, and the despatch boat Grillo put out from Swinemunde. At 5 p.m. on the 3d, the Tordenskjold, 34, and the Schleswig, 12, came within a short distance of Rugen to reconnoitre the coast of Wittow. Lieut.-Colonel von Pode wils occupied Dranske with two companies of the 11th Regiment and the 3d mortar battery of the Pomeranian Artillery. The Danes remained passive. The Prussian artillery fired 20 shells, 7 of which were seen to strike the enemy. The Dates withdrew in a damaged condition, and were 10 nautical miles to the east of Arcona by the evening." Advices from Stralsund of the 3d give another account, of the same affairs. They state : " In consequence of the engagement yesterday off Wit tow, in which the 3d division of screw gun boats attacked a Danish frigate and a paddlewheel, the Ist and reserve division, with the Grille, put to sea in the course of the afternoon, Upon arrival they found the engagement had ended some hours. The fight was begun by the gun-boats. The frigate replied to their first shots by a full broadside, which was received by the Prussians with a general hurrah. The Danish missiles struck the water at a considerable dis tance from the boats. The Prussians succeeding in plant ing several undoubted hits in the frigate's side, and fire beginning to issue from her port-holes, the Danish paddle wheel, which had been lying at a right angle to the frigate, commenced a well-aimed fire at five-minute intervals, en veloping tie boats, especially the Jager and Salamander, upon the right wing, in a dense rain of shells, while the frigate slowly withdrew. Notwithstanding this heavy fire, none of the boats were injured save the Salamander, which received a slight damage to her outer timbers. The flotilla, however, was unable to continue the engagement, owing to four of the 10 guns of which it consisted becoming unfit for service, and, therefore, retired after three-quarters of an hour's fight.

View of the Debate, The Journal des Debuts contains the following article on the first two nights of the debate :—"The good joke of Charles XII. at the Close of one of the rash adventures of his life is well known. He had rashly visited, alone and without attention, his enemy, the Elector of Saxony, in the city of Dres den ; and the day after he had thus put his head into the mouth of the lion, which neglected to close his jaws upon him, ho learned that the Elector was assembling his council to discuss with great so. lemnity tbe unprecedented act of the King of Sweden. ' You see,' said Charles to one of his in timate friends, 'they deliberate to.day on what they ought to have dons yesterday.' That pre cisely is the useful labour to which the English Parliament is devoting itself. Opened by a motion and a speech from Mr. Disraeli, to which Mr. Gladstone replied, the discussion has been continued by a speech from Mr. Cobden, of which, at the time we write, we have only a telegraphic summary, and it will by no means terminate there. The more it is prolonged the more noes the English public persuide itself (and we share ourselves in this respect the general impression in London) that a debate conducted in this fashion will hardly shake the Cabinet of Lord Palmerston. What Mr, Disraeli and his friends turn into a crime in Lord Palmerston are events, rather than acts of his own ; the very things which they more especially select to condemn his policy are the only things whose happening or not happening absolutely did not depend on him. Mr. Disraeli states with trium phant mir that the Cabinet of the Tuileries refused to act with England. He then points out how Earl Russell addressed to the German Powers extremely violent despatches, and that that had not at all frightened the Germans. Such, with all exactness, is the substance of his speech. Theta is nothing more indisputable than those two propositions of Mr. Disraeli, The misfortune for him is that Lord Pal merston disputes them less than any person. He has put himself in an attitude to admit their exactitude with the most admirable serenity. Lord Palmer ston, no more than Mr. Disraeli, disposes of the Cabinet of the Tuileries, and Mr. Disraeli, no more than Lord Palmerston, could possess himself of the ev:2cret of setting in motion any Power whatever allied with England unless by accepting certain conditions rigorously determined beforehand. The practical point in the matter of offensive and defensive matters is to know well what price the one contracting party wishes to give, and what price the other exacts. That, however, is the only point with which Mr. Disraeli has not concerned himself in discussing the philosophic question of the maintenance, the rupture, and the re-establishment of the Anglo- French entente. It is very evident also that the threats of Lord Palmerston have not terrified Ger- many. Upon that point Lord Palmerston has been amply instructed. Yes, he has threatened the Ger.. mans with the utmost violence, and the Germans have not been afraid. Only was it in his power to cause terror with words ? And was he not boun3, notwithstanding, according to all the usages of policy, to try at first the might of words in order to cause fear ? He has tried then what would be the effect of terrible words; Mr. Disraeli wouldhave tried it like him. He has experienced, and, it is admitted, very deeply, that in the actual condition of the Germanic temperament circulars destined to produce a shivering fit are wasted like a dull re. active on the hard and crabbed subject whom it is wished to treat by this process ; Mr. Disraeli would have had the same experience. The question whiel now presants itself is no more than that of seeking what must be added to the thunder of those crush ing words when that thunder has died away power. less in the echoes which it caused. "It is not necessary to add anything to them at all, " ingeni ously exclaims Mr. Disraeli. Indeed, then, Mr. Disraeli ought to be content, for Lord Palmerston does not lend himself to add anything important to the circulars of his colleague, Earl Ru2sell. If the debate does not take another turn in the sitting of the House of Commons next Thursday, what a fine result the adversaries of Lord Palmerston will have achieved ! They will have displayed their eloquence in d e naonstrating that the English Cabinet could only do what it has done, and certainly before they took the trouble there were many people to whom that proposition did not appear evident. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING, JULY 7. The sole excitement of to-day's racing centred in the Chesterfield Stakes and the second meeting of the Duke and Licldington. The other events were entirely destitute of interest, save and except that they furnishPd materials for speculation to the industrious fraternity t f layers and backers. On this occasion Fordham rode the Duke, but not, as his supporters fondly hoped, to victory. Nine came to the post for it, among them Cordelia, Zephyr, Lisette, and Biondina, good-looking fillies, the two tot mar winners. The betting at startirg wassto 4 on the Marquis of Hastings's horse, who displayed some frac tiousness at the post, and did not seem to run kindly. Lid dington, on the contrary, was on terms with his horses from the moment the flag fell, and soon. made the pace too hot for them. He then came up the hill in magnificent style, beating the favourite by three lengths. It was an asto nishing performance, and he proved himself possessed of great speed as well as staying powers. On Tuesday he ran so unkindly that had the Duke been properly called upon there is no doubt he could have won. To-day Mr Merry's horse was in different form, and cut down his field in a manner rarely seen. The other events, as we have said, call for no special comment beyond what the return gives. We may mention, however, the clever riding of young Phillips in the last race of the day, The patient manner in which he waited to bring out his horse at the proper moment is deserving of all praise.

When the flag was lowered Cordelia, with Biondina, Zephyr, and Rotho mago on the left, were the first away, followed on the ex treme right by Liddington, Lisette, and The Duke, the lot running widely spread across the course. Descending the hill Biondina dropped back, and as they entered the bottom Rothomago joined the beaten division. Liddington as they reached the hill went to the front, and in a few strides after he headed Mr Alexander's filly, who half way up was passed by the favourite, who nude an effort to get up as they reached the Stand, but failed, and was beaten in a canter by three lengths; a similar distance divided the second from the third ; two lengths separating the third and fourth, Biondina was fifth, Zephyr sixth, and Rothomago next.

The Coventry Stakes at Worcester.

Admiral Row, the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, and himself. M, Grosvenor-place, July, 1664. Newmarket, July 4. My Lord,—As your lordship thought proper, on the Worcester racecourse, to denounce our verdict on the ob jection lodged against Jezabel (without hearing the evi dence) in the most violent language, which had the natural effect of irritating an ignorant mob, with no other apparent reason than that you had backed Jezabel to win £2,000 — we call upon you to write an apology. In default of which we shall lay the case before the meeting of the Jockey Club on Wednesday afternoon, when we invite your. attendance. —We are, my lord, yours, &c., (Signed) H. J. Rous. STAMPORD AND WARRINGTON. The Lord Bateman, etc., Sec. 64, Grosvenor-place, July 5. Sir,—l have this morning received a letter, signed by yourself and the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, re specting the very strong exhibition of public feeling which took place on Worcester racecourse, on Friday last, on the announcement of your decision against Jezebel, in the Co ventry Stakes. In reply thereto, I have to state that, in common with every other person present, I expressed my opinion freely on the decision in question, but not, that I am aware of, in any language which could be construed by you as most violent, or calculated to irritate an ignorant mob. The demonstration of the public was perfectly spontaneous, and in no way encouraged, or even occasioned by any re mark of mine. They made their own comments loudly, with •which I had nothing whatever to do; and whether they cheered or hooted was no business of mine, nor in my power to prevent. I have a right to call upon you both, therefore, to substantiate the grave accusation which you have jointly made against me in your letter; and, under the circumstances, I do not feel called upon to write you any apology unless and until you furnish me with the exact language which you impute to me as being most violent, and of a nature to irritate an ignorant mob— in which case, or even if, in commenting on your decision, I may have made use of any expressions calculated to wound any one's private feelings, I shall, of course, on their being stated to me, be most happy to withdraw them, as I consider may other gentleman would be anxious to do. As I cannot be at Newmarket to-morrow, I shall be unable to attend the meeting of the Jockey Club to which you in vite me.—l have the honour to be, Sir, yours, &c. (Signed) BATEMAN. Hon. Admiral Rous. P.S.—Duplicate of this letter is sent to Lord Stamford. Newmarket, July 6. My Lord,—We have received your letter in which you state you expressed your opiaion freely on the decision of the Jezebel case, being at that time in total ignorance of the evidence given by Mr Johnson, the judge, and the jockey who was third in the race. if your lordship or your friends consider yourselves justified to condemn a verdict without hearing the evidence, no gentleman can be found to undertake the duties of a steward at country races.—We are, my lord, yours, &c. (Signed) 11. J. Rous, STAMFORD AND W ARRINGTON. The Lord Bateman. 54, Grosvenor-place, July 7. Sir,—l again call upon you and the Earl of Stamford and Warringten to substantiate the grave accusation which you have thought proper jointly to make against me in your former letter, and which seems to have escaped your notice altogether; or, in default, I call upon you both to retract that letter and the accusation it contains, and to write me such an apology for the same as every gentleman has a right to demand, and which no gentleman would refuse, I beg to add, in reply to your letter of yesterday, that any person from the Steward's Stand could see what took place in the race as well as, if not better than, the judge from his box, and that the nature of the evidence given was publicly discussed before I expressed an opinion on the decision. I feel compelled to publish this correspondence, of which give you notice, and am, Sir, yours, &c., Ilion. Admiral Rous. (Signed) BATEMAN. P.S.—Duplicate of this letter is sent to Lord Stamford. Gunpowder Explosion at Tonbridge. That dangerous compound which Lord Byron ironically described as " Thy humane discovery, Friar Bacon," has been the cause of a great cala mity near Tonbridge. The gunpowder mills of Messrs Curtis and Harvey are situated about a mile from that town, in the midst of a dense thicket ; and several branches of the river Medway serve as canals to convey the materials used in their factory to and from the works. For the different processes of the manufacture there are separate mills, built at some distance from each other, to lessen the fearful danger of the operations. It was in the glazing mill that the recent disaster occurred. On Wednes day evening this factory was blown up, the concus sion shaking every house in the town, while the effEct was felt throughout the whole length of the Weald of Kent. A policeman on duty at the time, at least three miles distant, asserts that a column of hot air rushed past him; and similar evidence gives corroboration to the statement. The 'men employed during the day in the glazing mill had left off work et six o'clock, and another relay had taken their place for the night. At half-past seven one man and two lads were in the mill, n fourth person having gone away with the intention of soon returning. It was during his absence that the explosion occurred, leaving no human being alive to tell the origin of the catastrophe. Nor is it probable that, had one of these unfortunate people been by a miracle spared from destruction, he would have been able to give any aceount of the matter. The bulk of powder that exploded was about thirty hundredweight, and the mill itself was simply obliterated from the spot on which it had stood, leaving nothing but a few charred pieces of wood on its site. Neighbouring fields were strewn with the fragments of beams and planks, and the trees in the thicket were blasted as by a simoom. The only human remains that have been found, with the exception of one terribly dis figured body, have been portions of flesh and bone, with here and there a hand or a foot that could be known for what it was. A punt on the river, laden with hay, was injured and sunk, the hay damming up the little river. The boy on board the punt had an almost miraculous escape. The punt was towed by a man named Henry Hill, who was blown into the river, and his body not found until Thursday morning. The boy, though only a few feet distant, escaped almost unhurt, The explosion would have been but ore of a series but for an excellent adapta• tion of an invention by Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, This, which is called a tipping machine, is so con trived that the shock of an explosion in one mill immediately saturates the powder in all the others with water. Bat for this excellent provision, which is only one of a long list of elaborate pred cautions taken by Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, who spare no cost in providing against accidents, the whole of the mills would undoubtedly have been destroyed, and the mischief fearfully increased. Mr Gray, the manager of the works, lives at a short distance, and the front of his house is greatly damaged. He and Mr Dance, the super• intendant of police, were exceedingly active in their inquiries among the cottagers who suffered by the explosion, Most of these poor people, in habitants of a small village near the mills, are in the employ of Messrs. Curtis and Harvey. Win dows were driven in, and other mischief caused to the dwellings of the labourers; but the loss of life was confined to the glazing mill itself, the names of those persons killed being W. Lidlow, a married man, 60 years of age ; H. Hill, 19 ; E. DeY , 19 ; and W. Day, 17—the latter three unmarried: The scene presented in the romanti c valley occ upied by these mills will not readily be forgotten by those who have witnessed it. The windows of numero us cottages and dwellings are shattered by the expl os sion, even in the town of Tonbridge itself ; the be• grimed and blackened appearance of the b u ildi ngs in the neighbourhood of the mills, the to rn b eams scattered over the fields, the water of th e r i ver and its tributory streams , usuallyclear, bl ac k w i t h powder; the air thick and [Leavy With a sulphuric taint; the wives of the men e m ployed in the mills weeping and di s tracted; the ai r o f confusion and desolation, a ll combined to render its features at once melancholy and terrible. FRIA NCSO OF NATAL.—Twenty years ago, when Natal first became British territory, its revenue at t he end of the first year amounted to £B3O. Five years later it was £9,268 ; in five years more £28,648 ; at the e nd of another five years, £42,800; and in 1863 it reached 03 9 —an e xcess o f more than £ 6,000 over that year's expenditure. 3 The growth of the revenue is in a great part due to the population drinking and smoking more. It is calculated that the European population paid in 1863 t'.xes to the amount of about £5 per head. Yet the expenditure for reproductive purposes—such as education, roads and bridges and public works, immigr a ti on , an d wa il carriage — barely exceeded 130,000. But few families maintain suoh a curtly official staff as Natal.—,Yatal Mercury. A letter from Chamounir, in Switz.:riand, states that another discovery of human remains has just been made on the Glacier des B oss ons. Ono of the g u id es, named Frederick Balmat, was passing near a crevi ce f rom which a body was recently recovered, when he o b served a small piece of black silk stuff projecting from th e i ce . Thi s proved to be the extremity of a cravat around the neck of a corpse. The guide with an axe extricated the body, which was removed to Chamounix for interntent. This is sup posed to be the last of the three unfortunate victims lost in having been previously re B c 2 o o ; r the e d, remains of the others Arrival of the Kearsarge at Dover, The American war steamer Kearsarge arrived in Dover roads at six o'clock on Wednesday evening. It had been stated in some of the French papers that a successor to the Alabama would probably be in waiting off Cherbourg when the Federal vessel left that port, and that another naval engagement might take place, in which the South would have an opportunity of retrieving its late defeat. No new Alabama, however, seems to have yet appeared, but it is asserted that a steamer, the Jeddo, which left Bordeaux on the 22d June, is to take the place of the notorious privateer. On this subject the Gironde of the 4th says :—" It will be recollected that a m ystery surrounded the departure of the Jeddo. This mystery seems likely to be maintained. In fact it was Wednesday, the 22d Jane, that the Jeddo quitted our port for Amsterdam ; the voyage between the two cities being ordinarily four days, we ought five days ago at least to have heard of the arrival in the Dutch port of the steamer built and armed by M. Armen. But no commercial journal that we know of has said a word upon the subject. The voyage of the Jeddo has certainly something strange and unusual about it, and the future will soon show that the anticipations respecting her were only too well founded." The Opinion .Nationale asserts that the vessel here referred to will soon reappear, fully armed and manned, and with the Confederate flag flying. Captain Semmes, it is said, is to ill to take the com mand of her. This duty will consequently devolve upon the first lieutenant of the late Alabama, whose appointment is expected to arrive about the middle of the present month. If the statements of the French papers are to be relied on there will soon be no lack in the Channel of war vessels belonging to the opposing Powers. According to those state. meats, the Florida is already there ; the Jeddo, as we have seen, is being got ready; and "the South is probably preparing a display of fresh forces ;" while, on the other hand, we learn that the Federal steamer Niagara left Antwerp on the 2d inst. to cruise in the Channel, and that a new Federal steamer, the Macedonia, built upon the same model as the Kearsarge, and armed with heavy guns, is expected. The Presse thinks that a far more "dra matic engagement than that in which the Alabama perished" may accordingly be looked for at n taut date. badmi: clock the ser -night a distress. _ . S OMN AMBULISM.—Oh Tuesd a y' ing accident happened at the boas° of fir RuOilOn , builder, Stratford New Town. About ten o vant, Elizabeth Miles, aged 15, went to bed, and shortly afterwards Mr Rushton 's son was awakened by hearin g moans and the loud barking of a dog which was chained in s th h e oc yard. He fiHned thedre ssed himself, went downstairs, and was poor girl lying on the pavement in the yard, where she had fallen from an attic do o r a h e i g ht of 18 feet. A. surge on was immediately in attendance, who found that sh e had received alarming injuries, which will probably have a fatal result. The girl had no recollection how the a ccident occurred, and the probability is that in her sleep she must have walked from her bedroom through the att io door, which was left open. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL, At a Court of Common Council, held at Guildhall yester day, Mr Alderman Carter in the chair, as locum tenens for the Lord Mayor, a report was brought up from the Special Lunatic Asylum Committee of the proceedings under the reference of the 15th of February last, to confer with the justices of the city of London, and also with her Majesty's Government, relative to the future management of the City of London Pauper Lunatic Asylum, and to effect an arrange ment with the justices by which a joint jurisdiction would be given to the justices, and that Court, stating that the committee had conferred with the justices, and had sub mitted the suggestion that a committee of 12 be appointed by the Court of Common Council to attend all meetings of the committee of justices (visitors) whenever matters affect ing the conduct of business connected with the City of Lon don Pauper Lunatic Asylum was considered, leaving the executive power where it is now vested. The committee had also referred to the law officers of the corporation to advise whether, under the circumstances connected with the pro viding and management of the asylum, the justices could enter into any arrangement or agreement under any of the clauses of the 16 and 17 Vic., cap. 97, or otherwise, so as to introduce any member or members of the Court of Common Council, as might be agreed upon, to join the committee of visitors (justices) of the asylum, as subscribers or other wise, under the same act. A reply was received from the committee of visitors by the asylum committee, stating that upon reference to the act referred to abova, they found that the justices only are legally qualified to carry out the provi sions of the act ; and the solicitor had laid before the com mittee the opinion of the law officers, advising that the jus flees of London had no power to enter into any arrange ments for introducing any number of members of the Court of Common Council into the committee of visit ors of the lunatic asylum. The committee feeling that no farther steps could, with any prospect of success, be taken to en deavour to come to an arrangement with the justices, pro ceeded to carry out the former part of the reference, and requested the chairman, in conjunction with the Remem brancer, to confer with Government upon the subject, and he reported that he had conveyed to Sir G. Grey the wish of the Court of Common Council that the Lunatic Asylum committee should take necessary steps to introduce a bill into Parlia ment to amend the Lunatic Asylums Acts, by making pro vision to the effect—" That the corporation having taken upon itself the erection of its pauper lunatic asylum, shall have and exercise in the same manner as if power had been given to it under clause 129 of the Lunatic Asylums Act, 1853, to give the notice therein specified, and as if such notice had been actually given, all the duties and powers with re spect to the management thereof which were conferred by the several Luhatip Asylums Acts upon other Corporations in England, and the desire of the Court that her Majesty's Government should assist the Corporation in the passing of such measure. In reply to this, Sir G. Grey stated that he considered it inexpedient to alter the general law of the land respecting the government of pauper lunatics ; that similar applications had been made by other cities which had failed to give notice under the 129th clause of the Lunatic Asylums Act of 1853, and had afterwards built their asylums, and that he had been compelled to decline complying with such request, and that therefore he could not accede to the wish expressed by the resolution of the Court. But he further stated that if the general law on the subjeCt should again come under the consideration of the Legislature, he would be willing to consider any application then made for placing the goverment of the asylum in the hands of the Court of Common Council, they having contributed the necessary funds. The committee, under these circumstances, had not at this period of the session felt it expedient to proceed further without any additional instructions of the Court. Mr Deputy JONES moved that the report should be re ceived. Mr M`GEORGE move 3, as an emendment, that the report be referred back to the committee, with power to confer with the justices as to the best course to be adopted by the Court to meet the necessary expenditure to be incurred in the management of the asylum, and to report thereon, which was agreed to. A report from the Law, Parliamentary, and City Courts Committee relative to the proceedings on the Thames Con servancy Bill in Parliament was read, and it was decided not to offer any further opposition to th 3 bill. Lady Wilson, wife of Sir John M. Wilson, Bart., Military Commandant of Chelsea College, expired at that institution yesterday. The lamented lady was daughter of Colonel John lioulton, of Fairleigh Castle, Somerset. TILE GREAT CLOCK.--" It is a triumph of ingenuit3k" —Daily Telegraph, March 31,1862.
